San Francisco Shopping Guide

The Mission

1

Candy Store

This totally modern dry-goods shop carries decorative housewares, stationery, and fierce clothes from smaller cult labels. The Talla atelier is tucked in back, making this a perfect lab for her graphic and sporty-but-feminine pieces.

Products: Lingerie/Loungewear, Women's Clothing, Jewerly, Aantiques, Decorative/Lighting, Furniture, Tabletop, Gifts/Design

2

Citizen:Citizen

This is a store-cum-gallery unlike anything we've seen in the city. Instead of overflowing with merchandise, the space feels curated, with unusual items such as a cheeky bronze-cast cocktail stirrer next to macabre skull pendants.
3435 Cesar Chavez St., Ste. 226, 415-695-7748

Products: Decorative/Lighting, Tabletop, Gifts/Design

3

Dema

This casually chic Mission shop is known for Dema's own line of funky and flattering dresses, brocade blazers, and trousers. Mixed in are punky pieces by Drifter and super-wearable Ella Moss items.

Josephine & Debudda

Offering vintage lamps, Bakelite cigarette cases, and retro-fabulous vases, this teeny oasis of cool displays new art every three months. Parties are held on the first Saturday of the month to show off new finds.
3430 22nd St., 415-641-4300

Products: Vintage, Antiques, Decorative/Lighting, Tabletop, Gifts/Design
Type of Store: Boutique
5

Paxton Gate

Plants found here give a spooky exotic vibe and thrive mainly indoors. Find spidery Tillandsias and staghorn ferns, which can be mounted without dirt in sculptural wall displays. Do not miss the back room, where orchids are treated as curiosities and displayed in Victorian glass cases en masse to terrific effect.
